A beautiful house
The property is well appointed, clean and with everything you need. The instructions for various equipment around the house are very clear. Andrea was easy to contact when we had a water leak in the wall in the upstairs bathroom and had a plumber out to fix it within a few hours, which was greatly appreciated. If i am ever in NZ again i would definitely stay here again.

This place was amazing. It was superbly clean and tidy and so well equipped in the kitchen and bathrooms, and with linen, books and children’s toys. It is in a great quiet location. The communication from the owner was very good. Would highly recommend this place and we would stay here again.

Perfect home base for the region
The location was a perfect one to see the lakes, Mr. Cook, and the Dark Sky Project. The house is comfortable, very clean and has terrific instructions for everything you might want to use that came in handy for us to cook. The house also matches the pictures and the host is very responsive.

Everything was beyond expectations!
This was a stop in our journey to Queenstown and now I'm sad it was just a one night. The place was very clean and there were a bunch of toys for our baby too. There is also a feeding chair for small children which was very useful. Was amazed to find a couple of rice cookers in the pantry 😊 Frankly, we could find everything we needed in this lovely house and loved the view from the room upstairs. It was a family trip and my whole family agreed that the host must have thought of everything. Thank you for letting us stay there and will surely consider another visit in the future.

Awesome Stay
An overnight stay at an Awesome home. Nothing overlooked, host has thought of everything that guests could need for a comfortable long or short stay. Information & instructions to find & work apliances, & information about the water & to let it run before taking a drink illustrates the level of attention to detail the host has. The home was immaculately clean & tidy & very very well stocked. All amenities close by including fishing spots. Very welcoming & homely feeling. The best holiday home we've ever stayed in.

A warm and welcoming home. It was clean, spacious and nicely stocked. We would liked to have had the time to stay longer and enjoy the views with a beverage out in the porch.

View the stars and mountains
We traveled from Queenstown to Dunedin to Twizel, and then down to ChristChurch, as a way of seeing a lot of the South Island. In Twizel we found a very nice home, much larger than our needs for two, but the full size clothes washer and dryer were well appreciated. All good with the listing. We traveled to Lake Texapo for the Dark Sky Project and the UofC Mt John Observatory & cafe. The drives up and down from the mountains were on relatively flat roads with a few mountain passes, but the views are spectacular because the valley is wide and you can see both mountain ranges.

Wonderful cosy winter chalet
A perfect location for activities and hotpools and tubs. This house is very warm and fully equipped. Anything you can think of is there in large amounts, e. G. Plates, kitchenutensiles, etc. The beds are sturdy and supercomfy as are the duvets. There are heaps if books, games, puzzles, toys etc. All instructions are very clear on laminated sheets. The communication is fast and clear. A perfect place which we would highly recommend.

Everything we wanted!
Lovely house with all we needed for a comfortable stay. Really well equipped kitchen, lots of games and DVDs, comfy beds and fluffy towels and a full laundry. We used Twizel as a base to explore the region and it was lovely to come back to, cook dinner, watch the sunset on the mountains and stargaze as they sky darkened. Andrea is a fantastic host, very easy to communicate with and accommodating of an additional night’s stay.

Family holiday made easy!
The best family holiday house! So extremely well equipped with everything you need for a family getaway. Our kids loved playing with all the toys from the amazing selection. We were warm and had plenty to do as the snow fell outside. Highly recommend and we are already planning our next stay here. Thank you to the amazing hosts who were the best we have ever dealt with.

Wonderful warm house
An amazing house, exactly what we needed for a family holiday. Twizel was literally freezing (sub zero most of the trip) but the heat pumps kept us toasty. The kids loved the cupboard full of toys. Everything was clean and comfortable and everything we needed was there. Well equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay here again and have recommended to our friends.
